History in New Jersey
New Jersey has a long and distinguished history that dates back far before the American Revolution, in which the state played a pivotal role.
Also known as the Garden State, New Jersey has been a center for high-tech industry and invention throughout its existence. Originally settled by Native Americans, New Jersey has welcomed waves of immigrants, from the Dutch and English in the 1600s to Asians and Latin Americans today.
